Mordecai and Rigby devote an entire day to beating a seemingly impossible Double Dragons clone whose slogan is, “Nobody beats The Hammer!” My all time favorite example as this episode is, without a doubt, about video games. And the only way to defeat him is to combine the power of all the previous arcade machines to create an avatar strong enough to defeat the Destroyer of Worlds! Of course, doing exactly what the note said not to do releases an 8-bit demon bent on destroying the world. That is until Rigby finds a mysteriously draped machine in the back called Destroyer of Worlds with an ominous sign attached to its circuit board: “In the name of all that is holy, don't connect the red wire to the blue wire!” During a mundane job of setting up the chairs for a birthday party, they run across a hidden arcade with such memorable titles such as Ball of Yarn, Lemonade Stand, Clap Like This, Hats 4 Sale, and Staring Contest.Įven though Mordecai wants to get back to work in order to prove he's not a slacker, he still handily beats Rigby at all of them due to the fact that Rigby simply mashes buttons. If there's one running joke throughout the series, it's that Mordecai and Rigby are slackers, much to the chagrin to their boss Benson. A simple argument over who gets to be player 1 spirals out of control with the mysterious Death Kwon Do and molten lava.ĭestroyer of Worlds from Just Set Up the Chairs What little gameplay that was shown could be a throw back to Super Mario Brothers.Īnd even though the characters are exactly the same, the basis for the show starts because Rigby doesn't want to play the guy who digs “with the sucky pick ax,” and plays Mordecai punchies for it. Player 1 has a shovel and player 2 has a pick ax and they traverse the world avoiding dangers like snails. The game seems like a simple platformer to which Rigby praises the game's graphics (“It looks just like the box art!”).

The first episode of the series that shows off Mordecai and Rigby's love for gaming also shows quite possibly their only gaming console, which repeatedly appears over the course of the series: something that looks suspiciously like a Sega Master System! So if you're really resistant to giving the show a shot, here are five episodes you should watch because they exemplify how big on gaming Mordecai and Rigby are, and probably the creator, J.G. While I enjoy the surreal and quirky situations in the show (I did not see being transported to 1982 as a consequence to annoying the master prank caller), one of my favorite things about the show is that the main characters themselves are quite the gamers.
